Traveling Fun Run #5Valley Forge Park from
Betzwood picnic area. Dan took us in a 5 mile trail tour
across the river, along 422, up and down, across a train track
(startled by a speeding freight train), and side to side in
the very humid pre-Hurricane Hanna early run. We then
toured the flat wide trail along the river with the 8:30
arrivals. Beautiful trails, a few rain sprinkles, good
post-run food and coffee, and typical AARC fun and
camaraderie.
